BACKGROUND

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a device for removing mascara, and moreparticularly, to a device for removing mascara with a means for easilyremoving the mascara applied on eyelashes.

2. Discussion of Related Art

Recently, there is universal recognition that removing makeup is moreimportant than putting on makeup. However, there is no special way toremove mascara applied on eyelashes around eyes, which are the mostsensitive parts of a face, Therefore, users cleanse their faces withwater or general makeup cleansing cream, and nowadays, mascara-removingmaterial, which is available to buy from cosmetic stores, is used.

The method of using the mascara-removing material, which is most widelyused among these methods, includes smearing on make-up cotton withmascara-removing material several times, directly rubbing and cleansingmascara applied on eyelashes with the cotton, and then washing theblotted mascara around eyes.

However, the mascara removing method using the mascara-removing materialcauses various inconvenience and problems in use. First, themascara-removing material may be excessively used. This is because avery small amount of mascara-removing material smeared into the make-upcotton is used to remove the mascara, and the rest is thrown away withthe make-up cotton where the mascara-removing material is smeared.Second, since the removed mascara spreads on eyes, the users shouldcleanse their faces with water or wet tissues. Therefore, it isdifficult to remove the mascara under the situation that the water orwet tissues are not prepared. Third, the eyelashes may be pulled out alot. Since the mascara is not well removed, when the user strongly rubsthe eyelashes to remove the mascara, the eyelashes are pulled outwhenever the mascara is removed. Fourth, since the user strongly rubsthe skin around the eyelashes, the skin around the user's eyes may bewrinkled. Finally, the most serious problem is that the user's eyeballmay be damaged. Since the sanitary cotton with the mascara-removingmaterial is directly rubbed on the eyes, the mascara-removing materialmay be smeared into the eyeball to damage the eyes though the usercloses her or his eyes.

Although the mascara-removing material has the serious problem such asdamage to the eyes, there is no special way or prior art to remove themascara.

Meanwhile, a beauty instrument for curling eyelashes upward to providebeautiful appearance, so called “an eyelash curler”, which may be usedto include the mascara removing means in accordance with the presentinvention, has been invented as various shapes and widely used.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a device forremoving mascara in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the mascara removing device 1 generally includes anupper grip member 10, a lower grip member 20 corresponding to the uppergrip member 10, an upper clip 30 connected to the upper grip member 10,and a lower clip 40 connected to the lower grip member 20.

The upper grip member 10 includes an upper grip part 12 formed at itsone end, an upper body 14 extending from the upper grip part 19, andsupport rods 16 bifurcated from the upper body 14 to have a space largerthan the width of eyelashes.

The upper grip part 12 has a ring shape through which a finger can beinserted, but not limited thereto.

The upper body 14 extending from the upper grip part 12 transmits powerof the finger inserted through the upper grip part 12 to the upper clip30, and a forceps-shaped connector 15 is formed at the other side of theupper body 14 opposite to the upper grip part 12 to joint a pivot pin 23installed at a lower body 24, which is to be described below. At thistime, the forceps-shaped connector 15 has a hole 13 for inserting thepivot pin 23. The support rods 16 bifurcated from the forceps-shapedconnector 15 are laterally widened until the space is larger than thewidth of eyelashes, and then maintains a uniform space when the space iswider than the width of eyelashes. At this time, each of the supportrods 16 includes a stopper band 17 to prevent the lower clip 40 fromlifting more than a certain height.

The lower grip member 20 includes a lower body 24 crossing the upperbody 14 like scissors, a lower grip part 22 extending from one end ofthe lower body 24 to correspond to the upper grip part 12, and a liftinglink 26 pivotally connected to the other end of the lower body 24.

The lower grip part 22 formed at the one end of the lower body 24 has aring shape corresponding to the upper grip part 12, and the other end ofthe lower body 24 has a hole 27 to connect to the lifting line 26. Inaddition, the pivot pin 23 inserted into the hole 13 which is formed atthe other end of the upper body 14 is formed at a position correspondingto the hole 13. The lifting link 26 connected to the other end of thelower body 24 is inserted into the hole 27 to be pivotally connected tothe lower body 24, and both ends of the lifting link 26 are connected tothe lower clip 40. At this time, the lifting link 26 has an approximateV-shape, a center of which is inserted into the hole 27, and the bothends of which are connected to the lower clip 40, but not limitedthereto.

The upper clip 30 connecting the ends of the support rods 16 has anarcuate shape corresponding to the shape of an eyeball. The upper clip30 presses eyelashes downward and prevents the support rods 16 frombeing widened.

In addition, the upper clip 30 is provided with an absorbent member 32into which mascara-removing material is to be smeared. The absorbentmember 32 includes a base layer 33 and an absorbent material attached tothe base layer 33. The base layer 33 may be formed of silicon and so onto adhere the absorbent material to the upper clip 30. The absorbentmaterial 34 may be formed of any material having absorbentcharacteristics and harmless to eyes, for example, cotton, gauze, Velcroloop, sponge, and so on. Meanwhile, the absorbent member 32 may besecurely or detachably fixed to the upper clip 30.

The lower clip 40 connected to the lifting link 26 is formed to conformto the upper clip 30 to press the eyelashes upward. Since the upper clip30 has the arcuate shape, the lower clip 40 preferably has an arcuateshape. A comb 42 is mounted at a surface of the lower clip 40 in contactwith the eyelashes, and the comb 42 includes a base layer 43 adhered tothe lower clip 40 and a plurality of comb teeth 44 pinned into the baselayer 43. The comb teeth 44 effectively remove the mascara by combingthe eyelashes, when the upper and lower clips clip the eyelashes toremove the mascara. The comb teeth 44 may be any resilient material thatcan be formed to have a comb-teeth shape, and densely or sparselyarranged in one or more rows according to uses. The comb 42 may also besecurely or detachably fixed to the lower clip 40.

Sequentially, a method of using the mascara removing device inaccordance with the present invention will be described in conjunctionwith FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is as already described above, and FIG. 4 isan enlarged perspective view illustrating the operation of the devicefor removing mascara in accordance with the present invention.

The mascara removing device 1 is similar to the conventional eyelashcurler except functions and operations of the absorbent member 32 andthe comb 42 mounted on the upper and lower clips 30 and 40, so the usesof the absorbent member 32 and the comb 42 will be mainly described.

In order to remove the mascara applied on the eyelashes 50, when theuser inserts her or his fingers into the grip parts 12 and 22 of thedevice 1 to widen the grip parts, the grip parts 12 and 22 are separatedfrom each other. At this time, the mascara-removing material can besmeared into the absorbent material 34. The mascara-removing materialmay be mascara-removing material available from markets, water, or thelike. After smearing the mascara-removing material into the absorbentmaterial, the eyelashes are inserted between the upper and lower clips30 and 40.

Next, when the fingers are closed after inserting the eyelashes, theeyelashes 50 are in contact with the absorbent member 32 of the upperclip 30 and the comb 42 of the lower clip 40. At this time, themascara-removing material smeared into the absorbent member 32 isintruded onto the eyelashes 50 to dissolve the mascara, and the combteeth 44 of the comb 42 are inserted into the eyelashes 50 in a combingmanner.

Meanwhile, the fingers are closed to some extent and then stopped, sincethe lower clip 40 is hooked by the stopper bands 17 formed at thesupport rods 16 to be not lifted more. As a result, it is possible toprevent the comb teeth 44 of the lower clip 40 from being damaged due tocontact with the upper clip 30 and the comb teeth 44 from bending topierce the eyeball.

Preferably, the stopper bands 17 are installed at a position such thatthe comb teeth 44 are in contact with the absorbent material 34 althoughthe comb teeth are lifted up to the maximum point. In order to morerapidly remove the mascara on the eyelashes 50, the comb teeth 44 may beflexibly or resiliently transformed to be in contact with the absorbentmaterial 34 to remove the mascara from the eyelashes 50. However, inthis case, since the comb teeth 44 may be excessively bent to damage theeyelashes 50, the lower clip 40 may be configured to be further liftedup by about 3 mm after the contact.

As described above, when the mascara removing device 1 is smoothlypulled out in the arrow direction of FIG. 4 after the upper and lowerclips 30 and 40 entirely clip the eyelashes 50, the mascara dissolved bythe mascara-removing material is removed by the absorbent material 34and the comb teeth 44. When repeating the removing processes two orthree times, the mascara can be more cleanly removed.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a device forremoving mascara in accordance the present invention. The secondembodiment is similar to the first embodiment except that the upper clip30 is provided with another comb 42 instead of the absorbent member 32.Since the comb 42 also has a certain degree of hygroscopicity, thesecond embodiment may perform the same function and operation as thefirst embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 6, both the upper and lower clips 30 and 40 may beprovided with the absorbent members 32.

Hereinafter, a fourth embodiment in accordance with another aspect ofthe present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of a device for removing mascarain accordance with the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Themascara removing device in accordance with the fourth embodimentincludes a first grip 50, a second grip 60, and a connecting means forconnecting the first and second grips 50 and 60.

The first grip 50 includes a first eyelash clip 51 formed at its oneend. The first eyelash clip 51 has a crescent shape so that the clip 51can be easily in contact with the eyelids, but not limited thereto. Thefirst eyelash clip 51 is in contact with a corresponding shape of secondeyelash clip 61 to clip the eyelash, and a surface of the first eyelashclip 51 opposite to the second eyelash clip 61 is provided with a comb52. At this time, the comb 52 may be formed at or attached to the firsteyelash clip 51 in various manners, preferably, integrally formed withthe grip in case of injection molding, for the convenience of amanufacturing process.

The second grip 60 includes the second eyelash clip 61 formed at its oneend. The second eyelash clip 61 has a shape corresponding to the firsteyelash clip 51 of the first grip 50, and a surface of the secondeyelash clip 61 opposite to the first eyelash clip 51 is provided withan absorbent member 62 for absorbing water or mascara-removing material.In this process, preferably, the absorbent member 62 is detachablyattached to the second eyelash clip 61 in consideration of wearing ortearing characteristics of the absorbent member 62, which may be formedof cotton, gauze, Velcro loop, sponge, and so on.

The connecting means connects the first and second grips 50 and 60 toconfigure the first and second grips as one structure, which are notseparated from each other. Here, preferably, the connecting means isconfigured such that the eyelash clips 51 and 61 of the first and secondgrips 50 and 60 function as forceps to clip the eyelashes. Theconnecting means in accordance with the fourth embodiment includesconnecting holes 71 formed in the first grip 50, and a connectingprojection 72 formed in the second grip 60 and inserted into theconnecting hole 71 to allow the first and second grips 50 and 60 topivot on each other.

In this process, a spring 73 having both ends respectively extending inangled directions can be inserted into the connecting projection 72. Thespring 73 functions to maintain the first and second eyelash clips 51and 61 in the widened state when they do not clip the eyelashes, andclose the clips 51 and 61 when they clip the eyelashes. Meanwhile, thestructure for applying a resilient force to the first and second grips50 and 60 using a spring may employ various methods such as a method ofinserting a spring between the first and second grips 50 and 60.

In addition, preferably, an angle adjustment means for preventing thefirst and second grips 50 and 60 from widening more than a predeterminedangle is formed. In this embodiment, the angle adjustment means includesa first extension part 53 extending from the other end of the first grip50 opposite to the first eyelash clip 51, and a second extension part 63extending from the other end of the second grip 60 opposite to thesecond eyelash clip 61. The first extension part 53 of the first grip 50is bent in a line extending from the first grip 50 by a predeterminedangle, and the second extension part 63 extends from the second grip 60in a straight direction so that the first extension part 53 is incontact with the second extension part 63 to be widened no more when thefirst grip 50 is released. Hereinafter, the operation of the mascararemoving device in accordance with the embodiment of the presentinvention will be described.

In an unused state, the mascara removing device maintains the state thatthe first and second eyelash clips 51 and 61 are widened by apredetermined angle by the resilient force of the spring. In this state,when a user inserts her or his eyelashes between the eyelash clips 51and 61 and pushes the first and second grips 50 and 60 to be in contactwith each other to clip the eyelashes. After clipping the eyelashes,when the mascara removing device is smoothly moved backward, the mascaraapplied on the eyelashes is wiped by the comb 52 and the absorbentmember 62 to be removed. At this time, the mascara can be more readilyremoved by smearing water or mascara-removing material into theabsorbent member 62. When the first and second grips 50 and 60 arereleased after removing the mascara, the first and second eyelash clips51 and 61 are returned to its original state by the spring 73.

In the meantime, as shown in Korean Utility Model Registration No.20-355316, the mascara removing device in accordance with the presentinvention may be configured to include a biasing means installed at thegrip without departing from the spirit or scope of the presentinvention. That is, the biasing means (or the lever 220 shown in FIG. 2)may be installed at the body of the grip and connected to at least oneclip to transmit power to clip the eyelashes. Therefore, it will beapparent to those skilled in the art that various mascara removingdevices may be made to remove the mascara applied on the eyelashes byadapting the comb and the absorbent member.

Effects of the mascara removing device in accordance with the presentinvention are as follows.

First, it is possible to suppress water or harmful chemicalmascara-removing material from permeating into eyeballs to protect theeyeballs, since the absorbent member and the comb teeth are in contactwith only the eyelashes.

Second, the mascara on the eyelashes can be rapidly and cleanly removed,and the mascara-removing material can be less used, since themascara-removing material is selectively smeared only on the eyelashes.

Third, it is possible to provide significant effects in comparison withthe conventional method by using water instead of mascara-removingmaterial which is on sale, and to save costs since make-up cottons,creams and so on are not used.

Fourth, it is advantageous to maintain the beauty of eyelashes bypreventing the eyelashes from being pulled out during the mascararemoving process.
